# recwave(1)

## NAME

         recwave - record an audio file in MicroSoft PCM wave format

## SYNOPSIS

         recwave [-b -s -r] file

## DESCRIPTION

         Recwav takes samples from /dev/audio and writes them to file in Microsoft
         PCM wave format.

## OPTIONS

         -b   number of bits to use for one sample. Must be 8 or 16, default is 8

         -s   enable stereo sampling. 0 = mono (default), 1 = stereo

         -r   sample rate in samples/sec. 4000 - 44100 (default 22050)

## BUGS

         The highest sample rate that can be used depends  on  the  speed  of  the
         system   and   the   size   of   the  DMA  buffer  used  in  the  driver.
